That is pretty cool. I would think it wouldn't have been to much more work to put a shock on that thing. Very cool find No_Rice. I would sport that!

getting it setup right for the shock sure would be a pain, but oh how cool.

just like using the stock fuel injection would be. i'm still trying to convince my friend we can make it work with the fi on the one he wants me to help him build. it wouldnt be that hard, just alittle more work but man would it run hard.

I guess he used a manifold and throttle body from a tuber. I like it.

Pretty cool. Like said, one of the few really good looking ones. It will be interesting to see what it sells for.

I emailed them to find out how much they'd charge to convert my x1. was told 10,000!

I could own two buells for that price. Or add a little more and ride a Confederate Hellcat

Now that is cool. I want one. Buell should make those. That thing needs a SS Drummer.

With the silver frame it looks like a B(uell) Rod, to me. Very Nice!

I would ride that, I think it looks Goooood!
Did he really leave that sticker on the sidearm? He kept the ZTL, cool. Nice big headlight. Rizmo mirrors? Pillion pegs, nice. You can actually see the rear head cover. And the stock lifter covers. Nice tank. I like it.

The guy is pretty honest about it to.

Direct quote from the ad

"It is not very comfortable because of the rideing posture(hands and feet way out front)."

That is cool.

Obviously, this bike contradicts every design concept that Buell incorporates, but if you like the form over function philosophy, go for it. I find any bike that you have to ride like you are a folded pocket knife is impractical. These bikes are for lookin' at not ridin'. If you cannot stand up on the pegs without pulling yourself up by the bars, you are in store for lower back problems down the road. I hate to see Buells cannibalized to create these things, but it seems to be all the rage. And then to have to pay a super premium price for this impracticality is absurd. It is a shame really...but that is just one man's stupid opinion.
